Tales from the Mennonite Heritage Archives Episode 55
Mennonite Foods & Folkways from South Russia Vol. 1 by Norma Fast Voth, 1990 (from the MHA Library)
In this episode, we bring you an episode with the excessively alliterative of Festive Foods and Folkways from the Mennonite Tradition. This instalment is based on a two-volume book series by Norma Jost Voth. She interviewed about 60 elder women who brought their Christmas traditions and celebrations from Russia to North America. Tune in to hear about Norma’s work, and listen to show host Dan Dyck mangle the pronunciation of German and Dutch words like Niejoasch’owend and Oilie Bollen.
